EDITOR'S NOTE:I have personally managed hundreds of social media accounts for car dealers, but establishing a presence, content placement and distribution strategy that incorporates the top 15 networks is a viable and effective means of leveraging social media marketing... Ralph Paglia

Tom, if you go to http://www.compete.com you will find they are a web traffic research, analysis and reporting firm. They also happen to be the web traffic research company that Google uses. Compete Rank is the 1 to 4,000,000,000 ranking in total monthly traffic that a site has according to Compete, Inc. Compete Ranks of less than 1,000 mean you are in the top 1,000 for total unique visitor traffic out of over 4 billion websites. It is interesting that sites like Facebook get a Compete Rank of 3, meaning there are two sites that get more traffic... I am sure Google is one of them.

Bill, apparently, the team putting this list together kept it restricted to social networking sites whose focus is people connecting with people. YouTube would be ranked above LinkedIn and below Facebook if it were based on monthly unique visitors.
